Photo Session (3 yrs/7 mos)

I was originally going to do this session when Connor turned 3 and when Mya turned 6 months old (1 day apart) but I really wanted her to be sitting so I could do a few of them together.  Mya was still so unsteady, I just decided to wait until she was doing it without any problems which ended up being 7 months. Meh, whatever.

I planned to do all of theirs together outside but that ended up being a total bust. Mya didn't like the grass (it is crazy dry here and the grass is like straw) and Connor could not stop talking about the playground. So then I was looking in the storage shed for...something, I can't remember what...and I found a package I had ordered a few months ago. It was suspenders for Connor. I had planned to use them for his session and completely forgot about them. So I got him dressed in his little outfit - just wanted to throw it out there that his pants were from last fall and at least 2 inches too short - and snapped a few photos. Once I saw them in camera, I fell. in. love. So I decided to put a black romper on Mya with a shabby headband that I made a few months ago and went with a whole vintage set. Loved everything about it. :)

This completely sums up their personalities. Mya is Little Miss Sassy Pants full of attitude and Connor is a little wild child who can never sit still. :)

Then I did a couple separate sets of Mya...

And then a few more from the outdoor session of my handsome 3 year old big kid. 

7 Months Old!

Can this baby please stop getting so old so fast? It still blows my mind every day that she is turning into a tiny person! She should still be acting like a newborn. She should be sleeping 20 hours a day and eating every 2 hours. But no, instead she is developing an incredibly adorable personality that I just can't get enough of. She is just so ridiculously cute, I can hardly stand it sometimes.

 

7 Month Stats:

- Still wearing 3 month clothes...although she is just now starting to get into 6-9 in Children's Place jammies.

- Size 2 diapers

- Sleeping through the night most nights 6-7 until 6-7

- Eating 4-5 6oz bottles a day

- Solids twice a day - fruit late morning and meat/veggie for dinner

- Started with puffs and other tiny pieces of things like bread or fruit

- Still no crawling, just lots of rolling

- Sitting unassisted really well

- Loves to SCREAM at her big brother

- Becoming fascinated by the dogs

- Very smiley!!

- Giggles when you hold her in the air and when you tickle her chest/armpits

- LOVES to look at herself in the mirror

- Still loves her Daddy and her big brother but she is a major Mama's girl

- Only reaches for me :)

- Taking 2-3 naps a day

- Swollen gums and drooling but still no teeth

- Loves chewing/drooling all over Connor's cars

- Still putting E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G in her mouth and attempting to dive out of your arms to gobble something up

- Getting more beautiful by the day

She still has a monster attitude when she wants to but we couldn't love her more. Love love love her! 

I finally did her "6" month session (I was waiting until she could sit up by herself) and Connor's 3 year pictures. I will share more soon. For now, here is just a taste!

 

I know, I know, I chopped his hand. WHATEVER! I don't think I could possibly love this photo more than I do. He is perfect. :)

Happy 4th of July!!

Hope you are all having a safe and fun holiday. Try and stay cool!! :)
